Proposed Project
HIV Prevention among Latino MSM:
Evaluation of a Locally Developed
Intervention (OMB No. 0920–0942,
expires 06/30/2015)—Extension—
National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral
Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention
(NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Latinos are the largest and fastest
growing ethnic minority group in the
U.S. and have the second highest rate of
HIV/AIDS diagnoses of all racial/ethnic
groups in the country. From the
beginning of the epidemic through 2007,
Latinos accounted for 17% of all AIDS
cases reported to the CDC. Among
Latino males, male-to-male sexual
contact is the single most important
source of HIV infection, accounting for
46% of HIV infections in U.S.-born
Latino men from 2001 to 2005, and for
more than one-half of HIV infections
among South American, Cuban, and
Mexican-born Latino men in the U.S.
(CDC, 2007a; 2007b). In 2006, male-tomale sex accounted for 72% of new HIV

infections among Latino males. Relative
to other men who have sex with men
(MSM), the rate of HIV infection among
Latino MSM is twice the rate recorded
among whites (43.1 vs. 19.6 per
100,000).
Despite the high levels of infection
risk that affect Latino MSM, no
efficacious behavioral interventions to
prevent infection by HIV and other
sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are
available for this vulnerable population.
CDC’s Prevention Research Synthesis
group, whose role is to identify HIV
prevention interventions that have met
rigorous criteria for demonstrating
evidence of efficacy, has not identified
any behavioral interventions for Latino
MSM that meet current efficacy criteria,
and no such interventions are listed in
CDC’s 2011 update of its Compendium
of Evidence-Based HIV Behavioral
Interventions (https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/
topics/research/prs/compendiumevidence-based-interventions.htm).
There is an urgent need for efficacious,
culturally congruent HIV/STD
prevention interventions for Latino
MSM.
The purpose of this project is to test
the efficacy of an HIV prevention
intervention for reducing sexual risk
among Latino men who have sex with
men in North Carolina. The HOLA en
Grupos intervention is a Spanishlanguage, small-group, 4-session
intervention that is designed to increase
consistent and correct condom use and
HIV testing among Latino MSM and to
affect other behavioral and psychosocial
factors that can increase their
vulnerability of HIV/STD infection. This
study is using a randomized controlled
trial design to assess the efficacy of the
HOLA en Grupos intervention
compared to a general health
comparison intervention.
CDC is requesting a one-year
extension to the existing Information
Collection Request in order to collect
information from 50 study participants.
This will terminate data collection for
the study. During the requested
extension period, a six-month follow-up

assessment will be administered to a

Proposed Project
WISEWOMAN National Program
Evaluation—New—National Center for
Chronic Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The CDC has supported the
WISEWOMAN program (Well-Integrated
Screening and Evaluation for Women
Across the Nation) since 1995. The
WISEWOMAN program is designed to
serve low-income women ages 40–64
who have elevated risk factors for
cardiovascular disease (CVD) and have
no health insurance, or are
underinsured for medical and
preventive care services. Through the
PO 00000
Frm 00040
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
WISEWOMAN program, women have
access to screening services for selected
CVD risk factors such as elevated blood
cholesterol, hypertension, and abnormal
blood glucose levels; referrals to
lifestyle programs; and referrals to
medical care. WISEWOMAN
participants must be co-enrolled in the
CDC-sponsored National Breast and
Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program
(NBCCEDP).
The WISEWOMAN program is
administered through cooperative
agreements with state, territorial, or
tribal health departments. At present,
approximately two-thirds of program
funding is provided by CDC with the
other one-third supplied by the state,
territory, or tribal organization. Each
WISEWOMAN awardee submits to CDC
an annual progress report that describes
program objectives and activities, and
semi-annual data reports (known as
minimum data elements, or MDE) on
the screening, assessment, and lifestyle
program services offered to women who
participate in the program (see
WISEWOMAN Reporting System, OMB
No. 0920–0612, exp. 12/31/2016).
Participant-level MDE are de-identified
prior to transmission to CDC.
In 2013, CDC released the fourth
funding opportunity announcement
(FOA) for the WISEWOMAN program
(DP13–1302), which resulted in fouryear cooperative agreements with 22
state, territorial, and tribal health
departments, including 5 new and 17
continuing awardees from the previous
FOA. Key program elements were
retained (e.g., provision of screening
services, promotion of healthy lifestyle
behaviors, and linkage to community
resources), but a number of changes
were incorporated into the program at
that time due to shifts in populations,
systems, and community needs. The
current FOA reflects increased emphasis
on improving access to clinical systems
of care and increased emphasis on
